Just returned fron Bali and promised all on this great tour that I would recommend it to all visitors to Bali. Just as it was recommended to me. The Bali Budaya eco and educational cycling tour. Definitely a must do for all visitors. Downhill all the way and a great way to see Bali and learn about its culture. Started with breakky on the volcano's edge. Great views and could have spent all morning there!!! Next stop a Balinese plantation where we learnt about local plants used for healing and what the locals grow to survive. Tried tropical fruits i didn't know existed and ginger tea for the first time. Soon on the bikes and free as a bird cycling downhill through the most beautiful scenery. Plenty of stops where we learnt about the Balinese culture and daily life. The highlight being high fived everywhere by Balinese kids. Cold face towels greeted us at the end of the ride, but we could have stayed on the bikes if weren't so hungry. Had the most delicious meal I had in Bali. A real Balinese feast and plenty of it. Finished the tour with a visit to a Balinese home and lastly the monkey forest. Guides were excellent and extremely knowledgable. The tour was unbelievably well run and reasonably priced for what you got. I booked in Ubud but they pick up in Kuta and Nusa Dua as well. Go and do it if you visit Bali!!!!!!
